haha gotta love memphis!!! im thinking about putting 4 pr 12''s in my ranger. i dont know though cuz i got this 1000d i gotta put to good use. maybe a mojo or two???

i thought u were going to use 2 different sets of 12"s? Which would sound like garbage btw.

well ive decided on one thing. got rid of my l5 12'' and im putting 4 twelves in the back of my ranger. ive got two MA audio 12''s in a nice ported box. im going to power them with a memphis 500watt rms amp then im getting two memphis PR 12''s and im going to power them with a memphis 480rms amp. got a compacitor from wally world ( i know im cheap) and i think im going to put another car battery in there. i might use the memphis 480 for my speakers seeings how its 4 channel and get another memphis 500. ill get some pics when the ranger gets outa the shop.

Good to see to decided to go with matching subs, Id just sell the MA's and use the money to buy more memphis pr's.

yea well i looked in the box and its actually two differnt MA's both are the same sub ones 350rms and the others a bigger one running 600rms. i almost blew the 350rms on my memphis 500.1 so i gave it to my cousin for his toyota and kept the bigger one. payday if i can afford it i think im gonna get two prs for this ported box ive got. i think it would be better to run memphis subs with memphis amps anyways. in the future i will work on a full memphis system.

there ya go, never mix different subs or different sizes. Running memphis subs on memphis amps wont make any difference but i like to match equipment brands whenever i can to make it look cleaner and more thought out. I was running all AQ (except my head unit) but i switched my sub out for my spare so i could wire my amp down to 1 ohm but both my amps and my components are still AQ.

they were both dual 4 wired in parallell...thats 1ohm i think so if it was that sub was getting 500rms...it didnt like it no matter what the rms was lol

Heres what i got... I Just installed it 2 days ago too!
83 ranger with 2 8" subs in custom fit box, Painted to match interior and exterior
Sony Xplod Amp 1200w

 

[4x4fun]

did you get thoes subs from walmart?

 

[TheNicky]

Pssshh nope... a local electronics store called Fry's

I was just walkin around and was in the sub section and saw a sign for $9 subs i was like hmm must be a mistake! listened to em and sounded decent i knew i could make em sound better so thats what i did... i used to run 12" excelons with a 2400w amp so im used to loud and these are plenty for a single cab.. plus i dont think i could fit anything bigger lol

Why did you ask?

 

[TheNicky]

why are they not worthy in here? LOL jk!

 

[4x4fun]

no i found a set that looked just like them from wally work. when i was in high school just getting into car audio. for like 20 bucks a pop. thoes things were awsome. no name idk who made them but they were cool lil 8's i wish i could find them again. there the first and only off brand no name shit id run knowing what i know now. i miss them good find if there the same thing

 

[TheNicky]

haha thanks!!!! the brand is roadmaster?????? WTF i know right but believe me when i say they sound pretty decent...

Hey 4x4! Question? Would you do a ported,sealed,or stuffed box for these 8's they are currently are sealed and sound good.. i just want to maximize potential!

sorry to thread jack just pm me or something!

 

[4x4fun]

my 2c i would leave them sealed. 8's wont go as low as bigger subs go. there more for punch, and the alum cone wont really transmit vibrations very well just due to being ridged. you could tune them in a ported box, that will give you the best over all sound, but there 8's, there gonna be best in the mid range, so its a lot money for lil gain. id try and find the specs and make the smallest box, maybe add some stuffing. and let them thump
